Shoshanna - if you would like a step up from Word Perfect Works 2, not that there is anything wrong with it, you might want to try OpenOffice. It is a very nice office suite with all the power and flexibility of good commercial applications. For free! If it's too big a download, ask around and see if someone you know can cut it to a CD for you. It's OpenSource, so there is no issue with that. I use it all the time, both at home and at work and love it. It won't write your novels for you, but it's a nice tool to have in your kit. jon
